Read Time:43 Second
I wish I could go back to the first time we said hello.
I would hold your hand a bit tighter and make each kiss last a little longer.
I wish I would have paid more attention to your simple gestures.
I can barely recall the touch of your hand or the way you smiled at me.
I wish I would have listened a little harder when you told me what you needed.
I figured out that you needed me far too late.
I wish I could go back and take your pain for my own.
I would take it all for myself if it meant you were happy.
I wish I could go back to that last phone call that I ignored.
I never thought I’d call you back and not receive an answer.
I wish I could’ve said goodbye.
